T0 66% whom, it may concern:

Be it known that we,RICHARD WVARNER and ELMER ELROY HOWE, citizens of the United States, residing at lVaukesha, in the county of Vaukesha and State of Wisconsin, have invented new and useful Improvements in Baking-Tins, of which the following is a specification.

Our invention relates to improvements in that class of baking-tins in which the pastry is loosened by means of a rotary bar.

The objects of our invention are, first, to provide for a longitudinal movement of the bar whereby the necessity of applying the holding-rivet at the exact center of the tin is obviated and whereby the bar may-be used in oval tins or even in tins in which the sides have been jammed or bent out of shape; second, to provide for the removal and replacement of the bar to facilitate cleaning the same, and, third, to provide a form of bar which will not be cramped or twisted out of shape when in use.

In the following description reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a top view of a circular bakingtin with our invention applied thereto, showing the bar attached at one side of the center and showing also a dent in the side of the tin and illustrating by dotted lines the movement of the bar in passing the dented or bent portion. Fig. 5.? is a longitudinal sectional view of the outer or bent end of the bar which engages the side and edge of the tin. Fig. 3 is a top view of an oval tin, showing our invention applied thereto. Fig. 4 is a sectional view similar to that given in Fig. 2, but showing a different form of handle. Fig. 5 is a detail illustrating the manner in which the bar is removably secured to the tin.

Like parts are identified by the same reference-letters throughout the several views.

A bar A is provided with a slot a'near one end, through which a fastener 13 is adapted to be inserted for the purpose of securing the bar at or near the center of the baking-tin C. The bar is secured to the tin with its fiatsurface down, and the outer portion of the bar is bent upwardly at cl along the side of the tin and outwardly at 0 over the edge of the tin, projecting from the tin to form a handle fand being doubled backwardly and engaged under the edge of the tin, as shown at g in Fig. 2 or at h in Fig. 4. The fastener B is preferably formed with a head I) and a bifurcated shank the respective arms I) of which are bent in opposite directions on the under surface of the tin after the shank is inserted through the slot at in the bar and an aperture i formed in the bottom of the baking-tin. It is obvious that the bar may be easily removed from the tin by straightening the arms I) of the fastener-shank and withdrawing it from the aperture 2'. It will be observed that the fastener shown and described is of aform in common use for other purposes. Hence it can be easily replaced if injured or destroyed by repeated bending of the arms.

lVe attach great importance to the provision of the slot or elongated opening a in that we are enabled to dispense with an exact adjustment of thefastening and also in the fact that the bar will readily yield longitudinally to pass a dented or damaged portion j of the tin, also to the removable character of the v fastener, whereby the bar may be easily removed and cleaned.

The bar can be applied to any form of vessel having curved sides, whether circular or oval, as the slot in the bar permits it to adjust itself in either a long or short radius, and the part which engages the side of the tin is thus permitted to follow the curve thereof as the bar is rotated upon its pivot.

Having thus described our invention, what we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. A bakingtin, comprising a vessel provided with curved sides, a bar providedwith an elongated opening near one end, and secured to the vessel at or near its center by a fastener passing through said opening, the other end of said bar being bent upwardly and outwardly over the side of the vessel, and extended to form a handle, substantially for the purpose set forth.

2. A baking tin comprising a vessel provided with curved sides, a bar provided with an elongated opening near one end, and secured to the vessel at or near its center by a removable fastener passing throu gh said opening, the other end of said bar being bent upwardly and outwardly over the side of the Vessel and extended to form a handle, substantially for the purpose set forth.

3. A bakingtin comprising a Vessel, provided with curved sides, a bar provided with an elongated opening near one end, and seenred to the vessel at or near its center by a fastenerpassing through ,said opening, the other end of said bar being bent iipwardly and downwardly over the side of the 'vessel, to en'- gage the edge thereof, and extended to forni a handle, substantially for the purpose set forth.

In testimony whereof we have hereunto set I 5 our hands this 22d day of April, 1898.
